SCMP: China’s satellite navigation market is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years amid the nation’s efforts to strengthen the footing of its home-grown BeiDou system and expand the overseas market, according to a new report. 南華早報: 一份新的報告稱，隨著國家努力加強本土北斗系統的基礎並拓展海外市場，中國的衛星導航市場預計在未來幾年將快速成長.

The value of China’s satellite navigation and location-based services reached 536.2 billion yuan (US$74.2 billion) last year, an increase of 7.09 per cent on 2022, according to a white paper released by the Global Navigation Satellite System and Location Based Services Association of China (GLAC) on Saturday. 中國衛星導航和位置服務協會發布的白皮書顯示，去年中國衛星導航和位置服務價值達到5362億元人民幣（742億美元），比2022年增長7.09%。

The industry, which centres on the BeiDou navigation system – China’s equivalent of the US Global Positioning System (GPS) – has covered a wide range of sectors, from chips and devices to algorithms and data. It has grown steadily in recent years from 12.7 billion yuan (US$1.7 billion) in 2006, according to the report. 該產業以北斗導航系統（中國相當於美國的全球定位系統（GPS））為中心，涵蓋了從晶片、設備到演算法和數據的廣泛領域。 報告稱，近年來，這一數字從 2006 年的 127 億元人民幣（17 億美元）開始穩步增長。
